The European Commission has proposed to lift the ban on new combustion-engine cars that was set to take effect in 2035. The new target aims for a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions, a change from the previous goal of a complete 100% cut.
This proposal marks a significant shift in the EU"s approach to emissions regulations for vehicles. Details regarding the implementation of this new target have not been disclosed yet.
